Chapter 245 (1/2)

Between Rhodesia and the Southern continents were an archipelago of islands.

And the group of islands weren’t of small size or number, however, people never glimpsed at them.

There was fog all around there, with reefs and whirlpools happening around, any ship which tried to get close to the island ended up getting wrecked.

Which was why the sailors called the nearby sea as ‘Sea of the Reaper’, and the nearby group of islands as ‘The Archipelago of Hell’.

In fact, the place was considered to be a taboo, sailors feared for their life whenever they used the close by waters.

The largest of the seven islands which made up the Archipelago of Hell was the one in the middle.

Covered by dense tropical jungle, the island was called Thanatos Island.

On the island which was referred to as that, a few wizards were residing in it, gathered around a large pyramid which was located on the north of the island.

There were two people who stood at the top of the pyramid.

Among them, was a wizard wearing a grey robe, who bowed his head and spoke.

“The great master, I have cleared all of the remnants, including the squadrons, and the newly appointed Meister of Rokid magic tower.”

At the report from his subordinate, the Lich of bones and teeth, complimented with his bizarre voice and grinding teeth.

“You. Did. Well. what about. Their. Bodies?”

“Some of them were completely shattered, but the bodies of the Meister and the few others were fully destroyed.”

“Kul. Kul. Kul. Subordinates. Will. Always. Grow.”

The man was the resurrected wizard by Arsene, Saymon.

In the Rhodesia continent which they were active on, they moved to there, to the Archipelago of Hell, tens of thousands of miles away from the continent.

It was a strange thing to do when the war with the Reforms was at the highest.

But, neither Arsene nor Saymon were worried or concerned about the Battle of Magic Tower.

“But, I did meet a weird guy when he was out.”

“Weird. Man?”

“He identified himself as a mercenary and was able to avoid all of my attacks. I wasn’t able to find out who he was.”

The warlock Saymon had retold the story about how he fought Luke.

Arsene, who listened to the entire explanation, looked up and asked.

“Kul? For sure. Sword. Is used by. The mercenary. But, he was. Using. Magic. As well?”

Using sword and magic together sure seemed to put the user in a higher position, but that wasn’t the reality of it.

Just to learn one of the two was a tough task, but learning both of them, and knowing more than 2 circle magic was impossible without talent and constant effort.

In addition, if the sword and mana magic were different and not in harmony, it could destroy the body.

Therefore, the Rune Knights were only a handful in history.

‘It is strange. Right now, there is no Rune knight who can be able to go against that guy?’

Recently, the rumor of the Rakan family, about Lord Luke being a Super Expert and a wizard of 4 circle magic was going around.

And if one has such ability, they could be a Sword Master.

By no means, could that man go against the power and body of the Devil King Saymon?

And it was told that Luke was staying in the Rakan territory, all the time, after completing his military service.

‘Now that I think, Emperor Rudolf did ask me to check if he was cursed or not.’

Over and over again, Arsene never felt like he had to pay much attention to Luke.

He was busy but was very confident that he could get rid of the Rakan’s descendant whenever he wanted.

“Let Albert. Know. And investigate. If that. Man. is a. mercenary. let me. Know.”

The better the man was, once dead, he could be made into a greater Undead.

He decided to kill the mercenary who managed to leave an impression in his mind and make him a subordinate of his.

“And another thing, the Holy Arthenia Royal magic tower joined the Reformers’ side in the battle.”

“They. Did?”

Arsene knew that Arthenia Royal magic tower had always been neutral, and thought that it would be the case in the current battle.

No, he just didn’t feel like he needed to concern himself over the wizards who were outside his Empire.
